Here it comes... a GIVE-AWAY from Warm Feet Felt!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! I’m so excited!

The New Year is around the corner. There’s holly on the doors, tinsel on the trees and flickering of candle lights in the windows. So much festivity 

in the air... and, on top of that, I am starting a CHRISTMAS LOTTERY!

The winner will get one of those beautiful scarves FOR FREE (you choose which one!)
Why not get one of those unique garments as a gift for Christmas?

So, if you want to participate, here’re the rules: you share my Facebook post with your friends out there on Facebook

Welcome to Camden Christmas Fair

I'm very pleased to announce that I'm taking part in Camden Christmas Fair in London. The event will take place in The Colonel Fawcett pub ( http://www.thecolonelfawcett.co.uk/ ) situated in 1 Randolph Street, Camden, five minutes walk from Camden Town station. I'm inviting you to pop in and have a look at my goodies on December 2nd, between 3 and 9 pm. This is going to be my first real-life stand, showing off brooches and scarves, mittens and bags :-) 
Londoners, come and say hello! I'll be happy to see you all :-)

"London" vest

After beating around a bush for some time, I had finally decided to make a vest. Yes, it was not an easy decision after being stuck mainly in accessories :-) Making clothes seemed to be an entirely new dimension to me. It was not easy to choose a color either -- first I considered gray, then green... And then the weather started getting colder and colder. 

Spontaneously, having stumbled upon a lovely beige piece of silk in the felting supplies shop, I bought it together with beige wool roving perfectly matching it, kick-starting thus the process of creating this vest. 
I find this color extremely charming! It is so simple and bright, with a slight shade of peach pink to it. The vest appears very minimalistic, without any decor, adorned just with delicate silk lining on the inside.

Fits sizes 44-46 rus (38-40 eur). Made out of superfine Merino wool and 

hand dyed Margilan silk.

The true autumn scarves

Well, September is here and I've made a couple of scarves in indian summer pallette. Although one of them is typically bright orange and rust red, autumn can be not only about the fiery leaves on the trees :-) The second scarf (first on the picture) has subdued, sort of rainy day gamut -- fine purple, olive and bluish green, dark brown; cold heavy sky, fallen leaves, wet soil. It seems to be even more autumn-like than the orange one. But I surely love them both equally!

Happy autumn!

Approximate measurements: 190x15 ---> 74,8"x5,9".

Approximate measurements:195x15 cm ---> 76,7"x5,9".

Foxberry cobweb shawl

I'm very much into cobwebs recently :-)
This one is a tender, delicate foxberry red  large loop scarf..  as thin as felt can be!
Also can be worn as a shawl.
Measures 79x35-40 cm ---> 31,1"x13,7"-15,7".

Something new

The "Butterfly dance" scarf.

196x17-29 cm ---> 77,1"x6,6"-11,4" (the widest part). 

"Foxberry" nunofelted scarf.

Approximate measurements: 172x27 cm ---> 67,7"x10,6" (without the silk fringe); the fringe is approx. 7-13 cm long ---> 2,7"-5,1" long.

Big buttoned "Tricolour" bag/shoulder purse.

Approximate measurements: 35x23 cm ---> 13,7"x9". The cord is approx. 40 cm long ---> 15,7" long.

Cobwebs, clouds and poplar leaves

This is my brand new "Head in the clouds" scarf, made out of sky blue Merino wool and undyed silk cocoons. Approximate measurements: 179x23 cm ---> 70,4"x9".

And this is just a cobweb. It's made of British Wensleydale breed wool. Fibers of this wool are extremely long, glossy and curly. Decorated with strokes of golden Muga silk. It is huge, 240x30 cm ---> 94,4"x11,8".

This scarf is called "Poplar", it's made of mint color superfine Merino and decorated with patches of delicate green Margilan silk. It also has got those shimmering Mulberry silk threads.
